Rear wheel steering , look at the back axle turrets which corrode and snap , panhard and control arm bushes might need replacing but then so might the front control arm and rack bushes . I have 2 swb 90 series and i have replaced every bush and ball joint on both in appreciation that these...
My 90 will wheel spin on dry roads in 2nd gear and accelerates past 100mph for fun due to some modifications . while towing a 1 tonne trailer 5000 miles its on par at least with a 4.2 diesel 80 series
Spill control valve was replaced obviously its a known if rare fault with the 1KZ-TE , few realize fuel can be turned up or down on these pumps , there's a little cap on top off the pump that while tight just slots on . Pull it off to reveal i think its a 6mm little nut locked in place by a 10mm...
I put Monroe +2" shocks and springs on my mrs KDJ90 she is 5ft tall and very happy with the ride and height , mind you she is used to climbing into my KZJ90 which has about a 6" lift .
I'm pretty sure the geometry changes depending on the spacer size , at 25mm it doubles but a 10mm spacer may only give you 12mm of lift and a 30mm spacer might give you a 75mm lift (which is too much to work by the way) . Best practice would be to sort the front then worry about leveling at the...
A 1 inch front coil spacer results in a 2 inch lift because of the coil angle . The rear coil spring will need a 50mm spacer to equal things up . This is my Truck now with the same plus a 40mm body lift - 16x8 zero offset steel wheels - 285/75/R16 Tires .
Front spacers were found on ebay but rear spacers are harder to get . I got mine made but if you google Fat Bobs Garage in the USA i believe he sells rear sets , many companies in Oz sell them to . Milners sell body lift kits about £60 a go .
Take your bumper off and try it , likelyhood is the ARB will need some modification but if the price is right go for it . An angle grinder and a welder could make any steel bumper fit any vehicle !
I have no idea what you mean by "tar" ? but higher rated springs are a very common mod for those who add winch bumpers as they add considerable weight . Milners i'd say is probably the biggest supplier of 4x4 modifications in the UK so i wouldn't be put off because of the price . Why can't you...
A coil spacer lift is probably the best option for you its cheap easy to fit and allowed me to fit 285/75 R16 Cooper STT Discover tires on 16x8 steel rims .
Be warned modifications are addictive - i will be fitting a body lift tomorrow which incidentally is just as cheap and easy to fit as...
If i couldn't get a landcruiser i think i would be looking at a Nissan Patrol , it may not be a Toyota but its still a seriously tough vehicle cabable of reaching very high mileage .
Theres a 1992 landcruiser here , no pics or anything but if it drives and he only wants $1000 for it i would definately take a look at it !

Take it to bits and the problem is likely obvious , a broken wire or a cog with broken teeth . Wires can be fixed with a bit of tape and a cog direct from Toyota will likely cost only slightly more than a christmas card . If your not confident at this sort of thing just take photos each step of...
Just found this for sale in Lima Peru and i'd swap my 90 for it in the blink of an eye if i could .

The 90 is what he wanted Beau but if you read the whole thread he wouldn't be able to take it out of Peru so he's looking for an older model to get around import export regulations .
No air conditioning made me think about Jeremy Clarkson drenched in sweat while crossing the Gobi desert without it and i thought surely in this day and age there is an easy solution . There is - just search the web for 12v air conditioner , you can buy one to plug into the lighter socket for...
